A bit unconventional but performs pretty well in base trials. Just finished it so I haven't seen how it performs in a real battle yet. If nothing else, I like how it looks.
#Unconventional Base Layout

Assuming you didn’t use seaspray,warpath.jazz,brainstorm,air raid, or elita in your base trial?
severe tendon
No but I will now.
steady meteor
Any aoe bot or seaspray/warpath will destroy that base very quickly
severe tendon
My warpath/seaspray/jazz are only in the mid 50's level. Took out the front half of the base easily but got tore up on the back half. Level 60+ would probably really tear it up. I'll think about how I could move a few things around to diminish those gunners.
The first half of the base is really just fodder until I get those defenses leveled up. My base plays at Zone 15 so some pretty tough squads hit it.

That’s why these types of bases are generally not popular. A seaspray level 60 would destroy the whole thing easily. I have other designs that work well if you’d like to see one of those
severe tendon
Yeah, man. I'd love to see some other designs.

These 3 are all good. Got them from top PL players
Your main problem is the level of your defenses.
severe tendon
Yeah, I know, my HQ is way ahead of my defenses. I've got 4 upgrades going at a time and the walls are getting there.
I was running with this layout for a while and it worked pretty good. I actually won some defenses.
It would be cool if you could invite players to attack your base.

if your options are this base or the one you first showed, go with this one
severe tendon
ha, yeah, this one has performed well for me. I like the first and third one you sent. I'll try those out too. I'm no base expert so I expect they'll do better than my fish looking design.
steady meteor
Lmk how it goes
severe tendon
You know what would be interesting, a base defense structure that blocks those long range shots from warpath and seaspray. Something you could strategically place to block a straight shot. Make it small but tough so you really have to place it carefully. Either that, or a core for the build bots that diminishes the power of the long range shots.
I will, thanks for the tips.

@severe tendon even this works out,it's my layout (ahem, it's the same as the top players I.e. yodas base)
Well I still need to get the mds and spider mines so if u want the exact base design, go to where u see the top players, click on Yoda and copy his base lol

That’s one of the ones I sent him above

But that is a little different

How different
severe tendon
I'm at it again. I just can't get the idea of a straight up base out of my head.
I'm getting some victories with this one. Front line defenses are still weak but most players will waste ability points on them. I'm also filling them with Death Pulse cores to slow down attacking bots. Middle of the base is a dead zone with few defense buildings to blow up from a distance. The combiner sometimes draws out their combiner early or tags most of their team with Computron's Hack Zone, which is fun to watch. Then it's the full line of OP bots. Finally, the rear defenses are mostly focused on healing. If a long range bot like Warpath hits, but doesn't take them out, they're healed up in no time.
I'm not saying it's as effective as the designs posted above but, for a straight on base, it's working pretty well and I like the way it looks.
